All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Serve him with joy, his praises tell,
come now before him and rejoice!

Know that the Lord is God indeed;
he formed us all without our aid.
We are the flock he comes to feed,
the sheep who by his hand were made.

O enter then his gates with joy,
within his courts his praise proclaim.
Let thankful songs your tongues employ.
O bless and magnify his name.

Trust that the Lord our God is good,
his mercy is forever sure.
His faithfulness at all times stood
and shall from age to age endure.

Consider Lord, a righteous cause
O listen to my cry!
Give Your attention to my prayer
For my lips do not lie
Let justice from Your presence come
By vindicating me
So let Your eyes see everything
With perfect equity

You came by night and tested me
You searched my heart within
You probed and found no wrong intent
I’ll keep my mouth from sin
I’m kept from violence by the word
As spoken from Your lips
My foot I’ve kept upon Your path
And so it never slips

On You, O God, my soul has called
For You will answer me
O listen to my earnest words!
Incline Your ear to me!
In wondrous and amazing ways
Your lovingkindness show
Your right hand saves those trusting You
To hide them from the foe

O praise the Lord! O thank the Lord,
For bountiful is He
Because His lovingkindness lasts
Through all eternity

O who can fully praise the Lord,
Or count His deeds of might?
How blessed are they who justice keep,
And always do what’s right

Remember me with favor, Lord
Which You Your people show
O come to me, draw near that I
May Your salvation know

That with Your chosen ones I may
Enjoy prosperity
And may with  Your inheritance
In You boast joyfully

Numbers 29

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

O God show mercy to us and bless us with Your grace,
And cause to shine upon us the brightness of Your face.
So that the whole world over may truly know Your way,
And so that Your salvation all nations see displayed.
O God let peoples praise You, let all the peoples praise.
Let nations come rejoicing and songs of gladness raise.

For You will judge the peoples with perfect equity,
To nations of the whole earth a governor You’ll be.
O God let peoples praise You, let all the peoples praise.
The Earth has brought its bounty throughout its harvest days.
Since God our Father bless us, yes God will blessing send.
That all the earth may fear Him, to its remotest end.

O God, we come before Your throne
And in our weakness we confess
We go astray and sin each day
We cast ourselves upon Your grace
O Lord, have mercy on us
Sinners in need of grace
Forgive us our transgressions
And lead us in Your righteous ways
God, lead us in Your righteous ways

The blood You shed has paid our debts
Jesus, You’ve washed our sins away
We trust Your grace, believe by faith
In You we have all righteousness
O Lord, You’ve shown us mercy
Sinners are washed as saints
You’ve shown Your loving-kindness
Sons of disgrace are righteous made
Sons of disgrace are righteous made

We fix our eyes on You, our prize
Jesus, the Author of our faith
Till You return or bring us home
You strengthen us to run the race
O Lord, forever faithful
All glory to Your Name!
We have no other Savior
Our great Redeemer, God and King
Jesus, Redeemer, God and King

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”

It is well (It is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And has shed His own blood for my soul

My sin- oh the bliss of this glorious thought:
My sin- not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
“Even so,” it is well with my soul

Luke 16:19-31

I am the Bread of life.
You who come to me shall not hunger;
and who believe in me shall not thirst.
No one can come to me
unless the Father beckons.

And I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up,
and I will raise you up on the last day.

The bread that I will give
is my flesh for the life of the world,
and if you eat of this bread,
you shall live for ever,
you shall live for ever.

Unless you eat
of the flesh of the Son of Man
and drink of his blood,
and drink of his blood,
you shall not have life within you.

I am the Resurrection,
I am the life.
If you believe in me,
even though you die,
you shall live for ever.

Yes, Lord, I believe
that you are the Christ,
the Son of God,
Who has come
into the world.
